If I made a game I'd probably slightly increase the chance to get a rare drop as you go without getting one, just so the average player is more likely to have a "holy shit" moment without having to go out of their way to know about it and look for it

Nancy betrays you at the end and fuses with John Redcorn to form the ancient one who believes that humans are useless and it will cleanse the earth and build a new world on its ashes. However, The Ancient one didn't account for something, the power of the human spirit. Using the power of their friendship and joined together with everyone they met in their long journey, they all cast the ancient one into oblivion. And so rises the age of man, where humans are free to decide their own and forge their own fate.

So, I just finished playing Dragon Quest VIII for the first time. It was an amazing game I never wanted to end. Its been years since I could play a game all the way through without getting bored. Are the other Dragon Quest games as good as this?
